Cape Town's Bo-Kaap and District 6 neighbourhoods dig deep into the history of South Africa. With a Host by your side, you can gain a fascinating insight into how these areas shape the city's past, present and future. You could explore the District 6 Museum, which pays homage to the people who lived in the area, then delve into the heart of Cape Town and experiences the city's vibrant culture before moving on to Bo-Kaap, where the streets are lined with instantly recognisable multi-coloured houses. Your Host could lead you along the cobbled streets to local mosques, famous stores, and other hidden gems along the way. We will contact you within 24 hours of your booking to find out about your interests so we can assign a like-minded Host who will create a bespoke experience for you. Your Host will suggest an itinerary and agree a meeting time and place, but you can always change your mind about what you want to do.
